CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- GenVault Corporation, the
leader in room temperature biosample management, together with the National
Center for Forensic Science will be presenting data showing stabilization
of RNA on GenVault's Reversible Porous Matrix (RPM) storage media at room
temperature at the 18th International Symposium on Human Identification in
Hollywood, CA this week.

GenVault's RPM storage media is a novel technology utilizing ceramic
nanoparticles and a stabilizing solute which creates a matrix that can
safely maintain nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA in the dry-state at room
temperature. Because the matrix is reversible, nucleic acids can be
retrieved with minimal effort, further the matrix is capable of stabilizing
trace amounts of nucleic acids, as low as 1ng and high mass amounts, up to
many micrograms. Through this flexibility and ease of use, this technology
has a broad range of applications in forensics, research and medicine.

"The ability to provide long term ambient storage conditions for
extracted RNA while maintaining the integrity of this very labile molecule
is a great advantage to investigators in the medical, forensic, and
molecular biology fields," said Dr. Jack Ballantyne, Associate Director for
Research at the National Center for Forensic Science.

"With the development of GenVault's newest storage media, RPM, we are
now able to address a wider range of sample types and markets. GenVault is
excited to share the results of our partner's studies on this new media and
we anticipate it will have a great impact in streamlining sample handling,"
commented David Wellis, Ph.D., President and CEO of GenVault.
